Chapter 50: Natural Energy

During Li Xiang's coma, Uchiha Itachi and Terumi Mei were extremely anxious.

Uchiha Itachi arrived at the Mizukage's office before Obito left.

Without any hesitation, he activated Susanoo to clear the area.

Terumi Mei and the others watched in shock as he brutally beat the mysterious masked man.

The terrifying scene was so intense that even the fully transformed Three Tails dared not approach.

Fortunately, Uchiha Itachi had a clear target and did not attack them.

Nevertheless, Terumi Mei and the others felt uneasy seeing such a powerful Konoha shinobi.

Even if the Mizukage returned to normal, how many years would it take for Kirigakure to catch up to Konoha?

In the midst of her wavering thoughts, Terumi Mei planned to implement an open policy to reconnect with the outside world.

However, the specific impression formed within the Bloody Mist would take a considerable amount of time to reverse.

Obito eventually escaped using Izanagi.

Uchiha Itachi was caught off guard by this forbidden technique because he had no prior knowledge of it.

But with his intelligence, he managed to capture some clues.

Even among the Uchiha clan, those who knew and could use Izanagi were few and far between.

It was only after taking control of the Anbu's access to the power center that Uchiha Itachi learned about the tragic past.

The Uchiha clan had faced a crisis due to the immense power of Izanagi, which led to it being classified as a forbidden technique.

The mysterious man must have been a high-ranking member of the Uchiha clan, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to use Izanagi.

Uchiha Itachi planned to investigate the ancestors of the Uchiha clan to see if he could find any clues.

Obito was just an unexpected surprise.

His goal was to find Uchiha Nami.

Uchiha Itachi questioned Terumi Mei and the others one by one, but none of them had seen her.

Afterwards, he specifically met with Biwako Juzo.

After hearing the detailed account, he narrowed down his search to Higurashi Hiyuki.

Uchiha Itachi recalled the conversation he had with Orochimaru during their battle, and found it too coincidental.

He also noticed Orochimaru's disappearance.

But when he went to find Higurashi Hiyuki, he discovered that she had gone missing.

Terumi Mei was already digging deep in Kirigakure.

Her current mood was like finally accumulating a collection of figurines, only to have them destroyed by a mischievous child.

Uchiha Itachi became more convinced that Higurashi Hiyuki was Uchiha Nami in disguise.

However, there was something he didn't understand.

From the time of Higurashi Hiyuki's birth until now, seven years had passed, and there were countless people in Kirigakure who could testify that she was a born and raised ninja.

And one year ago, Uchiha Nami was still in Konoha.

After much thought, Uchiha Itachi believed that there was only one truth.

After Uchiha Nami left Konoha, she used her Sharingan to control Higurashi Hiyuki in Kirigakure, and planned to overthrow Obito's plan, while also having Biwako Juzo infiltrate the high ranks.

It was a series of interconnected events.

Just like her style.

But if that was the case, Uchiha Itachi had lost his target.

Because Higurashi Hiyuki had been captured by Orochimaru.

Uchiha Nami must have given up control.

In this helpless situation, he began aimlessly searching in Kirigakure.

Hidden Sound Village.

Li Xiang was awakened.

Screams and cries mixed together, preventing him from sleeping peacefully.

It was like a group of bratty kids crying.

Li Xiang opened his eyes.

An unfamiliar ceiling.

Not white, but muddy.

The room was dim, without sunlight.

Li Xiang speculated that he might be underground.

Considering that he had saved Orochimaru before he fell into a coma, the location seemed obvious.

Li Xiang remembered that this snake liked environments that drove people with claustrophobia crazy.

He got up from the bed, pushed open the door, and there were two long corridors on either side.

The walls on both sides were lit with torches.

The sound he had heard earlier came from the left.

"There's not a single person here."

Li Xiang thought for a moment and followed the corridor to a hall.

It was not quite appropriate to call it a hall, it was more like an arena.

There were many people wailing inside.

Li Xiang raised an eyebrow.

A completely different energy from Chakra was swirling in the air.

Natural energy.

It was Orochimaru's live broadcast of the scene where he placed a curse seal.

But Li Xiang vaguely felt a sense of familiarity with natural energy.

It seemed like he had seen it somewhere before.

A flash of insight came to him, it was the magic of the Type-Moon.

Almost identical, but natural energy appeared more dense and solid.

And this kind of magic, Type-Moon also described it as True Ether, the atmospheric magic of the Divine Era.

Modern magicians, due to the significant decline of Divine Era magic, had to develop magic circuits and use their own magic.

Simply put, True Ether is the power used by gods and Divine Era magicians, and in modern times, except for a few places, it has almost disappeared.

Li Xiang stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

In a world where humans can survive, the composition of the atmosphere is almost the same.

In other words, the ninja world is now in an environment similar to the Divine Era of Type-Moon.

The reason why I say similar is because there are not many places with abundant natural energy.

The most famous ones are the three major sacred places for summoning beasts.

And they are equivalent to the fantasy species in Type-Moon, such as dragons, chimeras, etc.

Sage Chakra is the result of balancing physical energy, spiritual energy, and natural energy.

Using Sage Chakra can enter Sage Mode.

Li Xiang became interested at this time.

If Sage Mode could also be used in Type-Moon, wouldn't he be unstoppable?

But the premise is to find a substitute for Chakra.

Type-Moon only has magic and True Ether.

Developing Sage Mode is not such a simple matter.

"Do you want the power of the curse seal?"

Orochimaru appeared in front of him and asked.

Li Xiang looked up and asked, "Can I refuse?"

Not to mention anything else, the curse seal transformation is really ugly.

Even Sasuke couldn't bear the cosmetic effect.

"You don't have the right to refuse."

Orochimaru's tone changed and said, "But you saved my life, so I'll give you a chance to explain."

"I can see that this power is very imperfect."

Li Xiang shook his head and said, "I am a person who pursues perfection. If it is incomplete, I would rather not have it."

"Interesting."

Orochimaru suddenly licked his tongue.

Just by this short minute, Li Xiang could see the problem with his curse seal.

He was truly a born scientist.

"You are smarter than I imagined."

Orochimaru pointed to the ninjas wailing in the pit and said, "So you are more valuable than them."

He almost said, "I really like you."

"To receive praise from Orochimaru-sama, I should say that I am proud."

Li Xiang smiled and said.

Orochimaru looked at him with interest and asked, "Since you know who I am, why aren't you afraid?"

"I have been interested in medical ninjutsu since I was a child. The human body is truly amazing. It can not only create Chakra, but also inherit bloodline limits."

Li Xiang said with longing, "Many times, I wonder what their essence is. Why can bloodline limits be passed down to future generations? But why can some people awaken them while others cannot? Can ordinary ninjas have bloodline limits?"

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
